Commuting Tips for a First Timer

First Time As A Commuter
Transportation Incentive

After my first successful semester as a commuter, I have some advice for others who might consider being a commuter. Here are some tips on being a commuter at Stevenson.

1. Get involved with clubs

This has helped me get involved in college a lot. Joining clubs or organizations is a great way to meet people, make friends, and enjoy college to its fullest. Even if you don`t live on campus, you can still join things!

2. Get involved with the Commuter Student Association (CSA)

As an e-board member, I can tell you it is great because we try to help commuters as much as possible get acclimated to the school. Whether it`s their first semester or last, CSA is here to help! We do many activities, and are always around to ask questions. Look out for CSA in the future! "No matter how you get here we are here for you!" (Slogan)

3. Take time to enjoy college, even if you do not live on campus

There are many resources around for all students. Many of the events at Stevenson are for all students, even if you are a commuter. Stay in the know about these events on social media, and flyers around campus. If you are not sure, just ask!

4. Commuter Card

Many students don`t know even about their commuter card. It can get your discounts at the dining places, and other stuff too. The card also has information about Gas, and local repair shops around the school if needed!

Good Luck if you are thinking about commuting in the future, I honestly can say it is a good thing if you get involved. Many times people don`t get involved and feel alone but no need to worry, we are here for you!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
